HOW MANY BMW 1600 ARE LEFT?

There are 19 BMW 1600 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 9 BMW 1600 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 1600 was highest during 2023 Q4 (29). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1 (3%) BMW 1600 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of BMW 1600 that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of BMW 1600 has gained 3. Licensed models have increased by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 3 BMW 1600 models. Taxed models have grown by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

68% of the surviving 28 BMW 1600 in the UK are still on the road.
